We had a great lunch, Salmon and Tuna Sashimi was very fresh, and the presentation was excellent. The Nigiri Sushi was also great : We had Hotate, Hokagai, Ikura and Maguro. Service was excellent as well as the atmosphere. We have enjoyed Japanese In Folsom, EDH and this beats them all. We will definitely be back.... read more

My husband and I went here for lunch today. I wasn't expecting much as the reviews on this place aren't great. We were honestly pleasantly surprised. The service was fast & friendly. The sushi was actually really good. We shared 3 rolls. Typhoon, Lilly, and No Name. They were all great. We will definitely be back! read more

One of the most amazing sashimi fusions I have ever encountered on either coast. I recommend the typhoon. A hot-sour delite. read more

Best sushi best service and they've always been so patient with me and my son who is very messy lol thank you for all you guys do for the community. read more

I enjoy good sushi and this place definitely has a few good items. However, the service often falls short of enjoyable which often plays a large part in the sushi experience. This is a nice spot for dinner with a friend but probably isn't your daily hang as the prices can be steep for more-than-occasional visits. If you eat sushi more than once a month, you might want to check out my other reviews for local places with better service and prices. This joint can be credited for quality fish but they certainly don't use a different fish source or quality than most all other local sushi restaurants. Grab some takeout from here if it's locationally convenient for you. You won't be disappointed by the food. read more

This place has ruined all other sushi places for me. They are so amazing! Sucks they got rid of the all you can eat. But thank god for Javi and Martin. They are honestly the only reason I continue to go, if they ever leave will never go back. Super fresh fish, food is always amazing as long as Javi or Martin make it! read more

Yummy and surprisingly cheap. Can get really busy so call ahead for a table or be willing to wait!

Right when we arrived, one of my friends said she got bad vibes from one of the girls. They told us that it would be a thirty minute wait. My other friend and I experienced the same rudeness from one of the girls. We ignored it. I asked one of the girls for the menu so we can decide what we wanted because we were starving and didn't want to make them wait when we would be seated. They told us to look at the window of the restaurant. We looked at the window menu and as soon as we finalized what we wanted, one of the girls told us that only some of the items on fb window only applied to take out. No where on the window did it say Take out only. These girls, which we ended up getting their names, Dani and Santina I think were super rude. We ended up leaving because they were so awful. Service is terrible and we didn't try the food but their service was not worth it. The gentleman working was nice. read more

Have been coming here for a while since before Covid. Haven't been able to come since due to the staff's lax enforcement of employees wearing masks. We called ahead to order, were assured that everyone was wearing masks and then show up to see the head chef not wearing a mask. The 2nd time is even worse as they are only doing takeout dining or patio seating and you couldn't see inside. Well We looked inside the window to make sure they were wearing masks, but again the sushi chefs were NOT WEARING MASKS. Why do they go through the trouble of social distancing and having safe outdoor seating when the people preparing your food aren't even wearing masks. O well. Seems like no one in placerville cares about the pandemic... read more

Beautiful and relaxing space. Great service. Fish was good quality. They out a lot of rice in the rolls so it's pretty filling. My daughter loved it here so I'd say it's family friendly. read more

I liked it, but then again, I like Americanized sushi. You know, fried and wacky. The first time I went was for dinner. We came as a party of 7 and the service was excellent! The guy was attentive and loaded us up on all the yummiest stuff. It was a going a way party so he have the girl who was going away a free glass of wine and dessert. I thought for sure I ound the best sushi place in around! Until... I came with one friend for lunch two days later and the waitress was clueless. She didn't seem to know anything about sushi, but she sure knew how to apply eye make-up... lots and lots of eye make up. Oh, and she was snotty and rude, so the first guy who waited on us got tipped $50 bucks, I tipped this chick a buck and a frowny face for a signature. I'd go back only because I sometimes need a sushi like experience. Oh well. read more

First time here. Enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Though the food was good and would definitely return and recommend. Had the Lily and California Godzilla roll along with some Nigiri. Great presentation. read more

I'll bump it up a star. I'm currently attempting Paleo and so I ordered a bunch of hand rolls without rice and a 9 piece salmon sashimi. The sashimi was fresh and decent in portion size (though the size of the slices were all over the place). It also came with cucumber slices and a heaping mound if sliced radish. It was a very pretty dish. The hand rolls were also different in size but a good amount if fish was stuffed into the rolls in lieu of the rice. It was filling and yummy. This restaurant has an extensive menu and some of the rolls can pass as just mediocre. But once I find what I really like, I find that they do it well so now I know exactly what to order the next time I return! read more

I was in placerville and dying for some sushi. After a quick Yelp check, I found this place. Service was great! The server was very sweet and helpful. I was surprised they had all you can eat... It's just rare for California. I really liked the inside. Behind the sushi bar is a beautiful salt water fish tank. For the sushi I thought it was PRETTY good. It would've been REALLY good had they not drowned the rolls in their special sauces. I thought their presentation was really impressive. It seems like they have a pretty good customer base. They recognized their regulars and made special rolls for them. Overall, I would definitely come back if in the area. I'll just ask for less sauce! I would love to try the other appetizing rolls on their menu. read more

WE have been going here at different days and times and the quality of the food is consistently phenomenal. I ordered a sushi boat today and it was so delicious and the presentation was awesome. I have tried so may sushi restaurants and this is by far the best. Love their tuna tartare and tuna wrap. Customer service is always on point. Ashley is our favorite because she's always attentive and nice. read more

We went for our anniversary and was quite surprised on how fresh their sushi was! It was a very clean restaurant, everything we ordered was fresh and top notch service! Highly recommend if you're in the area for sushi. read more

This place was great. Enjoyed the service and the food. Looking forward to going back soon.

I will never eat here again. The customer service was so bad. When we walked in, the hostess was beyond unfriendly, she barely looked at us and wandered off into the restaurant instead of seating us. After waiting for at least 10 minutes, the waitress came and took our order. She was cold and impersonal. I ordered a beer, which she never brought to me so I had to flag her down and ask her for it, and then we waited for 45 minutes for our food. They were busy, but they only had one server for the whole restaurant during the lunch hour. The sushi was pretty good but the service was so bad that I would never want to go there again. read more

This place is amazing. Walking in, I was kind of concerned at the absence of an Asian sushi chef, being startled to see a Caucasian and 2 Mexicans behind the bar, but I'm glad I gave it a chance because it was awesome! The prices were decent: $7-$11/roll. I felt like I was a judge at Iron Chef eating here because it was quite a treat. The presentation was over the top and the flavors didn't fail to deliver. The service was excellent-the chef even made my family special rolls; they made us feel at home! This place is casual,but if I were to eat here again, I'd dress up a little bit more (we were in snowboard gear, having driven down from Heavenly). They play techno music and its semi classy. You have to give it a try if you're around. You won't be disappointed! read more

Suprised to see sushi in Placerville, but after playing in the snow I see why its here. All you can eat, those who complain about the price are just cheap. 21 bucks for all you can eat, its a deal. Sushi is top notch but your on placerville not roseville. I would stop in again, mt fuji, volcano are good rolls. As previous reviewers have mentioned it is americanized appeal to the locals kind of sushi joint. But clean, good and a small business, always worth supporting. Wait staff, how long it took to get food (should not take that long, only 4 real 4 man tables, 15 bar stools and 6 odd seats) are only issue here, you can't get a 5 and be a sushi restraunt in placerville. read more

This was our family's first time here at this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant! Fantastic appetizers, rolls, and desserts all at very reasonable prices and outstanding service. Armando who is the owner/chef has successfully fused his Latin-American influence in his Far-Eastern menu. What a great surprise this visit to Amerikan Ichi has been. We will definitely be coming back all the way from Roseville, with our sushi-loving friends in tow. read more

Spent 68 dollars on 5 rolls to go home and enjoy some sushi. Sadly only two of the rolls I ordered were correct. Definitely not worth 68 dollars and not worth going back to fix. read more

My dad and his wife have been coming here for years, so often that as soon as we sat down at the sushi bar last night, nigiri tuna is handed directly to us before we even have time to place our napkins on our laps. Now THAT is amazing service!! All of the staff are very friendly, making sure you have a wonderful experience while there. The fish is fresh and melts in your mouth! I highly recommend the Shelly roll, Macho roll and, most definitely, the No Name! DELICIOUS! read more

I drove 60 miles to eat lunch here, and I'll do it again. My niece suggested American Ichi, boy am I glad. Arrived at 11:30, not too busy yet. Greeted and seated immediately. Our server Dakota explained the all you can eat option, which we opted for. He explained if we didn't eat the $ value of a.y.c.e. lunch, we would only be charged the lower amount of what we actually consumed. We went for it and glad we did. Started with the Godzilla Roll "omg", Calamari roll "Great ratio of calamari to rice", Fuji Mountain Roll and Fire Roll " tons of fish, great sauces and presentation all around. Dakota twice suggested dishes which were some of Best I have ever had. First were the Mussels paired with two tasty nuggets of white fish on rice, "licked the Mussel shells clean, little white fish guys were fantastic" Second was a five piece roll I believe had a tuna interior topped with a ceviche and pickled red onion, slivered habanero, scallions and avocado, "unbelievable ". This is the Roll in uploaded picture. Topped it off with a Jason Hand Roll, cooked scallops "very creamy and flavorful " I had to thank the Sushi Masters before we left. Fantastic work that they make look effortless. All of the staff were attentive without being overbearing. Thanks again Dakota for a great experience. For this quality I will again drive the 120 mile round trip for lunch. read more

I have the pleasure of eating here a dozen times and each and every time I have been impressed by both the quality and freshness. Their menu is extensive and creative. The only thing that I have ordered that I didn't care for was their real crab meat which I found to be tasteless but everything else (which are many items) have all been VERY tasty! read more

Update I love this place, great sushi and service has really picked up! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the all you can eat sushi after our hike at Sly Park, but sadly they had to cancel the service. But we still dined and ordered the godzilla roll, Cal rainbow roll, pink lady roll and Rainbow row. all our rolls came on one plate and the presentation was lovely. the fish taste fresh, so that was a plus , we thought the godzilla was a bit heavy for the both of us, but everything else was delish. The service we received was excellent as well. I'd come back after another hike because it really hit the spot. read more

I love their Tropical rolls. Smothered with crystal shrimp, fried bananas, pineapple and coconut and topped off with cherry sauce. Yum! The No Name roll is also very good with cream cheese and fried shrimp and pecans. Very nice place, clean and well staffed. read more

I used to love this place, but today I went and ordered a 9 piece sashimi chefs choice and honestly overhearing the cooks conversation and the quality of my plate, this place seems to be going south. read more

Went from being our favorite sushi spot that we go to almost weekly to a place I'm really disappointed in. Todays visit we got there right after opening (4:15pm), ordered one appetizer and two rolls with three sodas. There was only two other parties (four people total) when we got there. We got our drinks and appetizer pretty fast After ordering. When it came to our food, we waited for an hour for our food that never came. Yet everyone that came in after us all had there food and were finishing it. Finally just paid for the appetizer and drinks and left. The reason that we got was they were short staffed. That doesn't make sense, since literally every person in the restaurant had there food except us. And by this time the restaurant was full. It would have been a better experience if there was communication with us about our food read more

I've been coming here for years. Owner has always been hands on and very very pleasant to be around! Everyone has always been super kind every time I've gone and the flavor is immaculate. By far my favorite place to eat sushi. I recommend it 11/10. read more

I love this sushi place. They have some of the best rolls in town and they even have a really good vegan selection of rolls. I do have to say that sometimes the wait is slightly long, but it is worth the good sushi. I will often just call in an order and take it to go. read more

I started eating here when they first opened and always had good food BUT since Covid the quality and creativity has dropped tremendously. the last two take our orders were not even what I ordered or were missing a dish. I called and also left a message on the website and never got any response., I will not be going back! read more

Surprisingly good sushi joint for being located in Placerville. It's pretty small and usually packed, but if you are craving sushi it's a good place to go. The rolls are all different (they have a great variety) and the sashimi was actually really fresh. I'm usually sketched out by sushi places so far away from the ocean, but I'd definitely go back. I know several people who go there for the all you can eat sushi deal (which I have not tried), but the a la cart menu is great as well. Trendy decor and food service - definitely worth a try! read more

Staff cant handle busy. Our waitress never came back and we wanted to order more food she didnt even bring our check. My roll was blah, my friend liked his macho roll. May go back but, I recommend ordering everything up front. They need more staff. read more

Every time i come in here I have an amazing experience. The staff is wonderful, the food is fabulous, and the atmosphere is very peaceful And relaxing. Certainly would Recommend this place to anyone for date or family gathering!! Do yourself a favor and come here. read more

Never coming back. Can't believe what just happened. Ordered my food at 6pm was told be an hour and half wait, cool no problem come in at 7:30pm was told not ready be about 10 more min ok no problem I can see it's busy so I left and came back 15 minutes to check and was told be about 5 more minutes still ok no problem. So I'm waiting for food standing around, and I see a young lady coming from the bathroom area straight to the sushi bar. She then proceeded to hand over her dirty tissue to the young man who is making my food. With no hesitation grabs her dirty tissues throws it away and continues to make my sushi, gross. When I confronted him, he was apologetic, and that would it be ok if he would remaked my rolls. Would have been just fine and we all could have just moved on with our lives, but noooo things got escalated from there. The owner threw a fit about it. Start yelling at the servers throwing food, with an attitude like a 5 year old. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. When I tried to talk to him and asked his name, I was told that didn't matter. He made a bigger scene than it ever had to be. Anyway, me, my friends and family will never go back. What a shame. Save your money and go to Kobe know Cameron Park. read more

Came back once again and man these guys just get better each time I come, got the 9 piece sashimi for lunch and could barely eat dinner at home that night, the fish was delicious and portion was huge. read more
